I Sylvanus Dousley one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas for said County To the Honorable Secretary of the War Department Do certify that on this eighth day of April 1818 personally came before me Isaac Evans a resident of the town of Manlius in said County and being duly sworn declared on oath that in the spring or fore part of the summer of the year 1777 he enlisted into the army of the United States into the Regiment then Commanded by Colonel Huntington and afterwards by Colonel Starr in the Com- pany then Commanded by Captain Del- Chu afterwards by Captain of the Regiment then Dorrance, and that he served in said Company about two years and then procured a substitute and was released but he believes his name was continued on the muster rolls while he served by substitute He further states that having as above stated left the Regiment he never received a dis- charge He further declares that he is now poor, reduced in his circumstances and needs the assistance of his country for support He also procured as a witness Prentis Kiene Esq. who being sworn confirms the declaration of said Evans as to his and of assistance for support

Done in pursuance of the act of Con- gress of the United States entitled
